'T'en ninutes’ Exercise 

Dr. Luther Gulick for Busy Hen 

Dr. Gulick says: “The experi- 
ence of years has demonstrated the 
efficiency of the exercises contained 
in ‘ Ten Minutes’ Exercise for Busy 
Men ’ in securing the ends for vv hich 
they were devised. Many letters 
have been written by men, testifying 
to the great benefit which they have 
secured from these few minutes of 
simple but vigorous work. 

4 1 5ic ^ ^ 'phe correspondence 

schools of physical training have 
come into great activity. Their 
general aim is to build up big mus- 
cles. A somewhat careful investi- 
gation of them satisfies me that they 
are inferior to thf exercises in this 
drill for purposes of building up 
vigor and manliness. 

“One of the most vigorous claims 
of some of these schools, namely, 
that the heart particularly is bene- 
fited by their work, is false, for I 
have had case after case of men 
whose hearts have been injured by 
taking the correspondence schools’ 
work when they were not in condi- 
tion for it. 

“ The exercises in ‘ Ten Minutes’ 
Exercise for Busy Men’ are recom- 
mended with the confidence of long, 
successful use. The results secured 
are better than those possible from 
the correspondence school work in 
the specific directions mentioned.”

HOW TO BECOME A BOXER 

For many years publications have 
been issued on the art of boxing that 
to a certain extent did not enable the 
»iovice nor the youth to become pro- 
ficient in the manly art. There is 
probably no man in America better 
qualified to teach boxing than Prof. 
William Elmer, and in his book on 
the subject he goes into it very ex- 
haustively. The book contains about 
seventy full page illustrations, show- 
ing how each blow is to be made, 
how to attack and how to defend 
yourself. It shows how the hands 
must be held and the positions to 
take, with descriptions that are so 
accurate that any boy can take them, 
open them up and with a young friend 
become proficient. Besides being a 
fully illustrated book on the art of 
self-defence, it contains nearly all 
the photographs of the leading Amer- 
ican boxers and the positions they 
take, which in itself is instructive ; 
the different rules under which all 
contests are held, and articles v/hich 
will interest anyone on the question 
of physical education. In order to 
make this publicaticn most ac- 
curate one issued, Piof. Elmer had 
his sparring partner posed personally 
for all the illustrations.

The Spalding Patent Solid Strihing Bag Dishs 

(Patented) 

'THE solid disk for striking bags will 
^ always hold a high place in the 
estimation of many on account of the 
variety of work it permits. The style 
which we originally introduced some 
years ago is the one which has been 
imitated most generally, but in all these 
substitutes the makers, while making 

them lighter, 
have uniformly 
neglected the 
most esen- 
tial point 
and have 
p rod u ced 
a n article

A striking bag disk 
must be subtantial if 
it is to be of use, and in 
the various styles, both 
adjustable and braced, 
which we manufacture, 
this feature has not 
been neglected, while 
we have striven to put 
out a disk which is suit- 
able for home use and

game, and there is no better way of becom- 
ing proficient than by reading this book and 
then constantly practising the little tricks explained therein. It is full of

points of play at this point of the diamond.

No, 227-How to Play Third Base 

Third base is, in some respects, the most 
important of the infield. No major league 
team has ever won a pennant without a 
great third baseman. Collins of the Boston

has ever seen, and their teams owe much 
of the credit for pennants they have won

ing the most complete book of its class ever

left-handed, has something of interest to those who use that member; 
John J. McGraw, New York Giants’ brilliant manager, discourses on the 
pitcher as a fielder, and as he started in his base ball career as a twirler, 
his advice has grourtds for attention; A1 Orth, the “curveless wonder,” 
tells how to make a batter do what you want him to do; John Powell ex- 
plains how to act when runners are on bases; Charley Nichols, the former 
pitcher of the Boston Nationals and now manager of the St. Louis Na- 
tionals, describes the jump ball; Frank Sparks treats of change of pace,

No. 232— How to Run the Bases 




The importance of base running as a 
scientific feature of the national game is 
becoming more and more recognized each 
year. Besides being spectacular, feats of 
base stealing nearly always figure in the 
winning of a game. Many a close contest 
i s decided on the winning of that little strip 
of 90 feet which lies between cushions. 
When hits are few and the enemy’s pitchers 
steady, it becomes incumbent on the Op- 
posing team to get around the bases in 
some manner. Effective stealing not only increases the effectiveness of 






Spalding* s Athletic Library 

the team by advancing its runners without wasting hits, but it serves 
to materially disconcert the enemy and frequently has caused an entire 
opposing club to temporarily lose its poise and throw away the game. 
This book gives clear and concise directions for excelling as a base runner; 
tells when to run and when not to do so ; how and when to slide ; team 
work on the bases ; in fact, every point of the game is thoroughly ex-
